What happens to masks when they are snatched away from their original context and, detached from their place of origin, are presented in the museum as artefacts of rituals, music, song and dance? Is it possible to restore the context or is this attempt in vain? Prolog #8 addresses these issues. In the first stage, at the end of July 2017, we began with three masks and their costumes from Burkina Faso, bought by the museum's custos, Silvia Dolz, for this exhibition. More masks from different regions of the world from then until today will continue this museographic parade throughout the entire exhibition in the upcoming months.
